Not useful.The power of Wolfram Alpha in my mind is the ability to input almost any scenario and allow it to do the math for you… but you have to understand the scenario and be able to set up the physics and math. In this App the scenarios are all fixed. The graphs produced (in a few scenarios) showing the solutions are possibly useful for some higher order thinking (i.e. “What does each line show?”), but otherwise it is too rigid / limited in the types of problems it will address.Not good for teaching, perhaps good for checking answers to introductory questions? – but anyone who needs this to work out solutions has missed the point… they need to upgrade their math skills ASAP!
